CET(Control-flow Enforcement Technology) is a CPU feature used to prevent
Return/Jump-Oriented Programming(ROP/JOP) attacks. It provides the following
sub-features to defend against ROP/JOP style control-flow subversion attacks:
Shadow Stack (SHSTK):
A second stack for program which is used exclusively for control transfer
operations.
Indirect Branch Tracking (IBT):
Code branching protection to defend against jump/call oriented programming.
Several new CET MSRs are defined in kernel to support CET:
MSR_IA32_{U,S}_CET: Controls the CET settings for user mode and kernel mode
respectively.
MSR_IA32_PL{0,1,2,3}_SSP: Stores shadow stack pointers for CPL-0,1,2,3
protection respectively.
MSR_IA32_INT_SSP_TAB: Stores base address of shadow stack pointer table.
Two XSAVES state bits are introduced for CET:
IA32_XSS:[bit 11]: Control saving/restoring user mode CET states
IA32_XSS:[bit 12]: Control saving/restoring kernel mode CET states.
Six VMCS fields are introduced for CET:
{HOST,GUEST}_S_CET: Stores CET settings for kernel mode.
{HOST,GUEST}_SSP: Stores shadow stack pointer of current task/thread.
{HOST,GUEST}_INTR_SSP_TABLE: Stores base address of shadow stack pointer
table.
If VM_EXIT_LOAD_HOST_CET_STATE = 1, the host CET states are restored from below
VMCS fields at VM-Exit:
HOST_S_CET
HOST_SSP
HOST_INTR_SSP_TABLE
If VM_ENTRY_LOAD_GUEST_CET_STATE = 1, the guest CET states are loaded from below
VMCS fields at VM-Entry:
GUEST_S_CET
GUEST_SSP
GUEST_INTR_SSP_TABLE
